I'm using my M and K lenses with my Z-1 and have not seen this kind of a problem (15/3.5, 18/3.5, M 35/2.8, M 50/1.7, M 150/3.5). There are differences in exposure metering (since with pre-a lenses the body will switch to center weighted instead of matrix) different kinds of lighting scenes with the newer bodies. I mean, I don't need a certain amount of exposure compensation for a certain lens. The amount of compensation, if any, depends on the scene. I shoot only slide film. I shoot mostly with my (now 2) LX which uses center weighted with all lenses so I am more accustomed to this metering model... I'd say the Z-1 with A and newer lenses need more exposure tweaking if used with the matrix metering ;-) Antti-Pekka --- * Antti-Pekka Virjonen * Fiskarsinkatu 7 D * GSM: +358 500 789 753 * * Computec Oy Turku * FIN-20750 Turku Finland * Fax: +358 10 264 0777 *
